Students have asked these similar questions
What data show that "Blending" between the phenotypes of two parents is not a correct view of inheritance?
Because offspring can resemble one or both parents in some regard
Because offspring might be intermediate in phenotype between each parent
Because blending would require DNA from each parent to work
Some traits skip a generation and then return
Based on the observed inheritance pattern and ratio of phenotypes, what are the genotypes of the affected children?
a) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are c-/c-.
b) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C/C.
c) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C/c-.
d) If c- = Cystic Fibrosis, the children are C.
A morphological trait is the physical association between two genes because they are on the same chromosome, also the inheritance patterns showing dependant assortment of alleles that result from this association
true or false?

- Horses have three basic coat colors: red (or chestnut), bay, and black. All the colors are controlled by the interaction of two genes, Extension (E) and Agouti (A). The following combinations produce bay color: EE/Aa, Ee/Aa, EE/AA, Ee/AA. Only two produce black color: EE/aa, Ea/aa. Other combinations of the alleles of these genes plus mutations of others result in many possible coat colors and patterns in horses. Coat color in horses is an example of which type of inheritance? recessive inheritance Mendelian inheritance dominant inheritance polygenic inheritancearrow_forwardthe expression of both alleles for a trait in a heterozygous individual illustrates A)blending inheritanceB)codominanceC)pleiotropyarrow_forwardA person with sickle-cell anemia marries a healthy person without sickle cell anemia. They have a child experiences shortness of breath in situations where oxygen supply is low. When a blood sample is taken from the child it is found that half of his red blood cells are round and half are sickle shaped. In the context of oxygen carrying capacity sickle anemia shows which of the following inheritance patterns? Group of answer choices A. epistasis B. codominance C. additive inheritance D. complete dominance E. incomplete dominancearrow_forward
- What is sickle cell anemia? What is the true inheritance pattern? How did scientists discover the true inheritance pattern? Explain multiple Alleles using Human Blood Groups as an example. Demonstrate the understanding of Polygenic Inheritance using an Example. (Skin colour or Height can be used as an example for explanation) . What is heterozygous advantage? Provide an example to explain the process.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements concerning multiple allele inheritance is not true? A a gene has more than two alleles. B an individual will have more than two alleles of the gene. C there are more than two alleles in the population. D the alleles may be dominant, recessive or codominant.arrow_forwardthe lubber grasshopper is a very large grasshopper,and is black and red and yellow stripes.Assume that red strpes are expressed from Gr alleles,yellow stripes from the Gy allele,and no stripes from the g allele.What will be the phenotype ratio resulting from a cross of two grasshoppers,both with red and yellow stripes? what type of inheritance is occurring in this situation ?arrow_forward
